The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by Shokoofeh Azar
2.0
I really didn't get this book. Maybe it was the translation, I just didn't enjoy this or get much from it. It felt like a real oversimplification of the pretty complex situation, but it is also told by a girl. Am I to read it as if it's a child with a child's understanding? I dunno, I'm still an adult and it was presumably written for an adult audience.
I had a hard time following the story, it really meandered without ever being interesting or deep or complex. The characters felt pretty superficial.
Also, this felt a little bit like an intentional work. Not like an idea that just had to be written, but like something that was written in the framework of several other famous works, but with its creator failing to realize what made those books special.
